The Pushpin Tool is developed by John Meyer of Support-PC.com. It was originally designed back in 2002 as a utility to pop up or close all of the Pushpins in a MapPoint dataset and quickly evolved to include many more functions including exporting the pushpins with lat/lon to Excel.

Over the years, hundreds if not thousands of MapPoint users have made the Pushpin Tool an integral part of their work with MapPoint.
